We took a trip to Alchemy Wine and Beer in Hamburg, NY and sat down with Morgan and Amy of Content on Draft for this week's episode. These ladies help craft beverage businesses create a connection with people like us by helping them tell their stories so why not let them tell their story. They give us great insight on branding through social media and other outlet, The Pink Boots Society Buffalo Chapter and Professional Thumb Wrestling. Oh, and Brian continues his fight against basic ketchup.
